A. Cooking oil/shortening is too cold for
filtering.
A. To properly filter, the oil or shortening
should be at or near 350°F (177°C).
At temperatures lower than this, the
oil/shortening becomes too thick to
pass through the filter medium easily,
resulting in much slower oil return
and eventual overheating of the filter
pump motor. Ensure that the
cooking oil/shortening is at or near
frying temperature before draining
into filter pan.
B. Improperly installed or prepared filter
pan components.
Test: Close the drain valve. Move
the filter handle to the OFF position,
pull the filter pan (and Power
Shower, if so equipped) from the
unit. Move the filter handle to the ON
position.
If a strong stream of air is being
pumped out of the oil return port (or
the Power Shower port), the problem
is with the filter pan components.
B. Remove the oil from the filter pan
and replace the filter paper, ensuring
that the filter screen is in place under
the paper.
If this does not correct the problem,
the filter tube suction tube is probably
blocked. Remove the blockage using
a thin, flexible wire. If unable to
remove the blockage, call FASC.
Pump starts, but no
transfer takes place or
the transfer is very
slow.
C. Improperly installed or prepared filter
pan components.
Test: Close the drain valve. Move
the filter handle to the OFF position,
and pull the filter pan (and Power
Shower, if so equipped) from the
unit. Move the filter handle to the ON
position.
If a strong stream of air is being
pumped out of the oil return port (or
the Power Shower port), the problem
is with the filter pan components.
C. Verify that filter connection o-rings
are present and in good condition.
Replace the filter paper, ensuring
that the filter screen is properly
positioned under the paper.
If using Magnasol filter assembly,
verify that o-ring is present and in
good condition on filter screen fitting.
